The Story of a Shawl.

strange story connected with it. family of
wealthy sout herners are staying here, and the
shawl ut them by one of their neighbors
down in Louisiana to be disposed of. It is the
last possession of family that, before the war,
lived in luxurious ease and plenty. All their
belongings have gone the way of this shawl,
one by one, to maintain them, and now they
have come to their last The shawl will proba-

but they can't They don't know how to work.
You see. many of them had gone beyond the
prime of life when the began, and they

LOUISVILLE Courier Journal.
An old topper has been working an exceedingly
clever scheme to get whisky without paying for
it. He has not the color of dime for a
month. but he was bound to have liquor, and he
devised the following plan: He bought big
mouthed half gallon jug and crammed a huge
sponge into it. Thus equipped he went to a
liquor store, and producing the ug said he wished
it filed with whisky. When this was done
he remarked sweetly TO the man who waited
on him. You will have to charge this, as l
have money with me-" At the same time
giving his name, which is known TO every body.
OF course credit was refused him. and he was
ordered, in very polite terms. to return the
liquor 'All right, you may pour the whisky
back" he replied suavely. II can get plenty OF
IL at other places" He produced the jug. and
after the liquor was poured out il was returned
to him. He then went off to quiet place, and,
extracting the sponge squeezed ont of it about a
pint and half of frstclass whisky, which he
enjoyed as only old topers can The trick was
repeated several times, until detected.

August Lilies.
Back !"
Jam es Whltcomb Riley,

Bright August lilies! break and wear
The beauty of those golden moons
When reveling childhood's dearest boons
Bloomed in the fitting ''sugar-spoons"
Your silver clusters bear.
Again in happy wood drain
The long white buds with nectar filled,
AS sweet as any God distilled
Or heavenly Hebe tripped and spilled
In honey spreading stain.
l know not where in summer days
Such sudden drifts of snow are found,
Whence float these witching doors round
Nor where within the parching ground
Your liquid sweetness stays;
l only know my senses steep
In dazzling CLEANS of white and green,
While the pale flower stalks sway and lean
And glad as I the bees between
Are quafing draughts as deep.

He Used Speech Delivered by NJ Theirs
and a Description of Macaulay's.
The Spectator.
If the Morning Chronicle had its humiations.
it had its triumphs we'll. In 1872 its columns
contained a couple of communications which
cited an extraordinary sensation In the year
1852 the great Duke of Wellington di ed, and Mr..
Disraeli, being leader of the Conservative party,
which then in power had to an uounce his
death to the House of Commons and to follow
thu announcement with the usual oratlon. A
very eloquent Grafton it was. and it was fully
por ted and duly admired; but, unfortun ately, it
found one reader with very tenacious memory,
who was sure that not only the substance. but
the very phraseology, was familiar to him, and
who. after short search, discovered that the
great speech had been delivered by M. Theirs
over the grave of a certain Marahal Morter,
whose death mad preceded that of the Duke of
Wellington by eighteen years.
This discovery was communicated to the editor
of the Chronicle. who, glad of such M opportu-
nifty of denouncng the sin of literary theft and
damaging the Tory party at the same time

nor less than a translation of it. Great the
delight of the Liberals. great the con sternation

there was not even a change of language: the
two passages, with the necessary alteration of
the proper names. were word for word identical,
and people thought. not unnaturally, that Mr..
Disraels literary reputation had received a
fatal blow. The accused committed his defense
to friend and curious defense it was Mr.
Disraeli. the world was informed, kept a
monplace book in which he had Transcribed the
passages from Theirs and Macaulay, and COM

tirely forgotten the of transcription, he used
them imagining them both to be his own.
On this curious story DIR. Mackay makes two
remarks The first is the very obvious that
this was "a very lame explanation" the second
is the reverse of obvious, being that Disraeis
offense, ''if offense it were was condoned, and
none but sour-minded professional critics and
habitual opponents of his policy thought any the
worse OF him." II this were so-whch we do not

TO AN AMBITIOUS FRIEND.
Omit, omit. my simple friend.
Still to inquire how parties tend,
Or what we fix with foreign powers.
If France and we really friends,
And what the Russian Gar intends
Is no concern of ours.
Us not the daily quickening race
Of the invading populace
Shall draw to swell that shouldering herd.
Mourn we will not your closing hour,
re imbeciles in present power,
Doom'd, pompous and absurd!
And let us bear, that they debate
Of all the engine-work of state,
OF commerce. laws and policy.
The secrets of the worlds machine,
And what the right of man may mean
With reader tongue than we.
Only, that with no finer art
They cloak the troubles of the heart
With pleasant smiles let US take care;
Nor with lighter hand dispose
Fresh garlands of this dewey rose
To crown Eugenia's hair.
OF little threads our life is spun,
And he spins i'll who misses one.
But is thy fair Eugenia coldl
Yet Helen had an equal grace,
And Juliet'5 was as fair face,
And now their years are told.
The day approaches, when we must
Be crumbiing bones and windy dust;
And scorn us as our mistress may,
Her beauty will no better be
Than tho poor face she sights in thee,
When dawns that day. that day.
